The Libertarian Institute is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization.
All donations are fully tax-deductible.

The Libertarian Institute seeks to realign the liberty movement, and more broadly, American political discourse, to prioritize opposition to the worst abuses of State power – both foreign and domestic.

To that end, the Libertarian Institute is proud to offer our first publication, Scott Horton’s Fool’s Errand: Time to End the War in Afghanistan.

But we need your help!

Your support will help us spread our message to the people and bypass media gatekeepers and the political class. As a special thank you, for any contribution of $50 or more, donors receive a signed copy of Fool’s Errand: Time to End the War in Afghanistan by Scott Horton!

Whistleblowers, former government officials, former military officers, and journalists are already praising Scott Horton’s Fool’s Errand as a definitive accounting of America’s longest war and why the war in Afghanistan must come to an end:

“In Fool’s Errand, Scott Horton masterfully explains the tragedy of America’s longest war and makes the case for immediate withdrawal. I highly recommend this excellent book on America’s futile and self-defeating occupation of Afghanistan.”— Daniel Ellsberg, Pentagon Papers whistleblower and author of Secrets: A Memoir of Vietnam and the Pentagon Papers

“The real story of the disastrous U.S. war in Afghanistan must be written so that future generations may understand the folly of Washington’s warmongers. Scott Horton’s Afghan war history is an important contribution to this vital effort.”— Ron Paul, M.D., former U.S. congressman and author of Swords into Plowshares: A Life in Wartime and a Future of Peace and Prosperity

“Scott Horton’s, Fool’s Errand: Time to End the War in Afghanistan, is a definitive, authoritative and exceptionally well-resourced accounting of America’s disastrous war in Afghanistan since 2001. Scott’s book deserves not just to be read, but to be kept on your shelf, because as with David Halberstam’s The Best and Brightest or Neil Sheehan’s A Bright Shining Lie, I expect Horton’s book to not just explain and interpret a current American war, but to explain and interpret the all too predictable future American wars, and the unavoidable waste and suffering that will accompany them.”— Capt. Matthew Hoh, USMC (ret.), former senior State Department official, Zabul Province, Afghanistan, Senior Fellow at the Center for International Policy

“Fool’s Errand is a hidden history of America’s forgotten war, laid bare in damning detail. Scott Horton masterfully retells the story of America’s failed intervention, exposes how Obama’s troop surge did not bring Afghanistan any closer to peace, and warns that the conflict could go on in perpetuity — unless America ends the war. As Trump threatens to send more troops to Afghanistan, Horton shows why the answer to a brutal civil war is not more war, which makes Fool’s Errand a scintillating and sorely needed chronicle of the longest war in American history.”— Anand Gopal, journalist and author of No Good Men Among the Living: America, the Taliban, and the War Through Afghan Eyes
